Hi, I'm Warren Williams. I've been playing bass guitar professionally for decades, and have learned how to play primarily by Ear. I teach utilising a unique Bass by Ear methodology. We do not use sheet music, notation, or tedious classical music theory. Students learn to play real grooves instantly by unlocking their relative pitch, recognising chord progressions by ear, and matching rhythm naturally. TABs are used only to check what is being heard, and only practical, useful theory is taught along the way. My approach focuses on ear training, and most importantly, what each student wants to learn. No rigid, "one size fits all" programs here. If you're seeking bass lessons near you with a fresh, fun, and relaxed vibe, I encourage you to reach out.

-
Understand the logic behind what you're playing
- Deconstruct famous songs
